“My leather furniture was badly faded from sun exposure. I called Copenhagen West and asked if there was anything I could do, and they referred me to Chris with Color Glo. I was skeptical that he would be able to do much, but he got my furniture looking brand new again! I had called another company to compare bids and they wanted to take my furniture for two weeks and charge me a lot more. Chris did the work in my home in one day. ”

“My husband and I have two leather chairs and ottomans that were an anniversary present to one another nearly twenty years ago. They had seen some wear and tear with kids and pets, but were still worth a face lift, especially with their sentimental value. With an upcoming move, we also needed to change the color of the furniture. Joe worked very hard to change our navy blue chairs and ottomans to a shade of maroon that works perfectly with other furniture and an area rug we will be using in our new home. The turnaround time was great and the price reasonable. Thanks Joe!”

Purchase A Top Franchise Opportunity in 2019
If you’ve been thinking about buying into a top franchise opportunity, then you’ve likely been looking at many options. One question that we often hear is “when is the right time?”. It’s a valid question - when is the right time to buy a franchise?
When is a good time to buy a franchise?
If you’ve been thinking about buying into a top franchise opportunity, then you’ve likely been looking at many options. One question that we often hear is “when is the right time?”. It’s a valid question - when is the right time to buy a franchise? You might be thinking about things like time of year, personal capacity, industry trends and other factors that are specific to your life, but the ultimate answer is simply this - when you have the money.
The right franchise candidate. Once you’ve decided that you’ve saved enough or you are funded in some other way, you’ll need to consider a few other things.
Are you comfortable following a rigid business system?
Are you interested in using someone else’s creation to build a business?
If self-employment is your goal are you ok not being a full-fledged entrepreneur
Do you have experience in sales, operations or hiring/managing people?
Do you have enough net worth or capital to fund the business, advertise and experience a couple years of growth?
Timing has to be right
If you've been thinking about buying into a franchise system, and you can answer yes to the questions above, then you might be on the right track. Almost anyone can be a franchise owner if you have the determination and the willingness to learn and evolve. The system has been created for you, so following it is your biggest asset.
Now, as much as you’d like to quit your job so you can be in business for yourself, you might not be able to do that right now. It’s just reality. You may have other factors in your life that force you down one path or the other or delay objectives that are on your list. You might have young children and saving for their college education is your family’s priority right now. Maybe you had to leverage a loan or second mortgage for major home repairs. It’s possible a family member is ill and its not a good time to check out mentally and engage in new business ventures.
That said, the best time to buy a franchise is when you have the money, the desire, and the wherewithal to move forward. ~ The Franchise King®, Joel Libava
Franchise 500
Color Glo International ranks in the Entrepreneur Top Global Franchise 500 2019
Franchise Skillsets
The type of franchise you own will depend heavily on your personality, interests, and your skill-sets. If you have interest in restaurant operations, then there are many restaurant franchise options for you. If you love clothing and fashion, then there are unique boutique franchises out there for you. If you want to operate a gym, guess what? There are so many options out there for you. If you are a hair stylist or makeup artist or have interest in the beauty industry, then there are franchise opportunities in the beauty industry.
If you want to help your clients save large amounts of money and be a go-to resource for color and material restoration in niched interests like automobiles, marine, aircraft, home furniture, commercial furniture and more - then Color Glo International is for you. You'll meet new people every day, you'll work on-site rather than in a box and you'll encounter unique jobs that challenge you daily.
Franchise ownership rewards?
There are many rewards to owning a franchise. One of the biggest is also your biggest challenge, which is being self-employed. This means you are your own boss which can be the life or death of your business. You'll need to be a self-starter, create routines and schedules, set your own meetings and efficiently and financially manage them. You get to know other small business owners in your community and you'll get to know all kinds of people that are looking for someone like you to help them with regular work. One is that Color Glo Franchise owners can benefit is in their relationships with RV Dealers.
Freedom is your biggest advantage. New work locations, new people, new challenges - every day. If you're willing to follow a proven model, the business can also be lucrative
Back to determining the best time
We've given you our advice based on our franchisees. But seasonal businesses and level of risk takers will have different opinions. Some industries will have busier times of year than others, and many will want to open right before a big season. However, your personality comes in to play; you may want time to work out the kinks.
To find which option is right for you, look at potential outcomes … and seasons that might bring in more dollars. Then evaluate how ready you are (or might be) by a certain date. This can create a realistic timeline, and reveal when will be your "best" time to open.
How about outside factors? Are there any competitors retiring or going out of business? Are there businesses in your similar field opening? These variables, and more, can help pin down a deadline. Also keep in mind that business is never cut and dry. Even with the tightest of plans, your deadline can get shoved back. Be sure to give plenty of advance … just in case.
Another thing to also consider are hard dates. Do you need real estate? When can you get into the building? Are there licenses, liens, loans, operational equipment etc that all have lead times? A firm plan is essential to launch.
Final Considerations
Before hopping in with both feet, take some time to consider the competing franchise models in your selected interest. Stay open-minded and things can change rapidly. If you are working toward opening your franchise, there comes a point where it's simply time to open, no matter what the corresponding season might be. Be prepped to go at it full-force, then hone in on whatever your industry's craziest time of year.

Understanding The Ranking
Entrepreneur’s 40th annual Franchise 500®. From regulations to trends to demographics, the franchise industry has experienced its fair share of change since that very first Franchise 500 was published way back in 1980. But the industry keeps going strong, offering companies of all different stripes an effective mode of expansion, and affording thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs the opportunity to open their own business within an established brand. And Entrepreneur continues to celebrate them all with what is still the world’s first, best, and most comprehensive franchise ranking.
Just as the franchise world has changed over the last four decades, the proprietary formula used by Entrepreneur continues to evolve as well, so they can best evaluate the strength of the franchise opportunities offered today.
Color Glo International is proud to have made that list once again amongst some of the nation’s top opportunities across various niches including restaurants, hair care, real estate, technology, themed parks, and more. Here’s a peek into their ranking criteria and process.

Before They Determine The Rankings
The first step in determining the ranking is gathering the data. Beginning in July 2018, Entrepreneur asked franchisors to fill out an online form and submit a copy of their current Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) or Canadian Disclosure Document. The response was impressive, with 1,094 companies supplying all the required information. Submissions were then vetted by their editorial team before being entered for data analysis.
To be eligible to rank, a franchisor must be seeking new franchisees in the U.S. or Canada and must have had a minimum of 10 units open and operating as of July 31, 2018, with at least one franchise located in North America. Each eligible franchisor was scored based on more than 150 data points, and those with the highest cumulative scores became the Franchise 500.

A Little Bit of History
Since it’s beginning in 1975, Color Glo has become the recognized leader in the mobile automotive reconditioning industry. Founded by Everett C. Smith to address the growing demands, Color Glo has from the very beginning been the benchmark of this industry. Having been in the reconditioning industry for years, Mr. Smith knew that the existing products were not of the quality he would need to build a strong and successful brand. Although it was very costly and challenging, he decided that for his company, the only direction that would satisfy his pursuit of perfection and quality was to formulate his own line of exclusive and proprietary products.
Color Glo opened their own research and development labs to formulate the best products in this industry. He hired chemists that had strong backgrounds in new product formulation and research, and over a period of several years is team developed the original Color Glo proprietary line of restoration and repair products. Today the original 8 products in the line have grown to over 100 different and unique products. Each of the over 100 products are developed and selected to work seamlessly within the Color Glo system.

When Is The Right Time to Buy A Franchise with Color Glo?
If you've been thinking about buying into a franchise system, you may wonder if you are cut out to be a business owner, and if so, what type of franchise should you own? Almost anyone can be a franchise owner if you have the determination and the willingness to learn and evolve. The system has been created for you, so following it is your biggest asset.
Summertime is a good time to start your own business
Summertime. It's hot, its sticky and its full of opportunity. Right now might be a good time to consider advancing your career and changing your life by purchasing a Color Glo franchise. Summertime is a good time to think about kicking off or starting a new business for a few reasons. Most businesses are in the middle of their year and focused on sales and maintaining; less effort it is being put into market analysis. The middle of the year can tend to slow many people down, but you are just beginning to run. It's also wise to think about getting some groundwork laid before the 4th quarter of the year, holiday time period and other calendar items that bring business development to a halt.
If you've been thinking about buying into a franchise system, you may wonder if you are cut out to be a business owner, and if so, what type of franchise should you own? Almost anyone can be a franchise owner if you have the determination and the willingness to learn and evolve. The system has been created for you, so following it is your biggest asset.
Franchise Skillsets
The type of franchise you own will depend heavily on your personality, interests, obviously your skill-sets. If you have interest in restaurant operations, then there are many franchise options for you. If you want retail unique clothing and accessories in a boutique environment, then there are franchises for you. If you want to operate a gym, guess what? So many options out there for you. If you want to help your clients save large amounts of money and be a go-to resource for color and material restoration in niched interests like automobiles, marine, aircraft, home furniture, commercial furniture and more - then Color Glo International is for you. You'll meet new people every day, you'll work on-site rather than in a box and you'll encounter unique jobs that challenge you daily.
Franchise ownership rewards?
There are many rewards to owning a franchise. One of the biggest is also your biggest challenge, which is being self-employed. This means you are your own boss which can be the life or death of your business. You'll need to be a self-starter, create routines and schedules, set your own meetings and efficiently and financially manage them. You get to know other small business owners in your community and you'll get to know all kinds of people that are looking for someone like you to help them with regular work. One is that Color Glo Franchise owners can benefit is in their relationships with RV Dealers.
Freedom is your biggest advantage. New work locations, new people, new challenges - every day. If you're willing to follow a proven model, the business can also be lucrative
Back to determining the best time
We've given you our advice based on our franchisees. But seasonal businesses and level of risk takers will have different opinions. Some industries will have busier times of year than others, and many will want to open right before a big season. However, your personality comes in to play; you may want time to work out the kinks.
To find which option is right for you, look at potential outcomes … and seasons that might bring in more dollars. Then evaluate how ready you are (or might be) by a certain date. This can create a realistic timeline, and reveal when will be your "best" time to open.
How about outside factors? Are there any competitors retiring or going out of business? Are there businesses in your similar field opening? These variables, and more, can help pin down a deadline. Also keep in mind that business is never cut and dry. Even with the tightest of plans, your deadline can get shoved back. Be sure to give plenty of advance … just in case.
Another thing to also consider are hard dates. Do you need real estate? When can you get into the building? Are there licenses, liens, loans, operational equipment etc that all have lead times? A firm plan is essential to launch.
Final Considerations
Before hopping in with both feet, take some time to consider the competing franchise models in your selected interest. Stay open-minded and things can change rapidly. If you are working toward opening your franchise, there comes a point where it's simply time to open, no matter what the corresponding season might be. Be prepped to go at it full-force, then hone in on whatever your industry's craziest time of year.

CGI Ranked Military Times Best in Franchise Rankings 2018
The latest Military Times Best: Franchises rankings are out, and 53 companies have made the 2018 list of the best franchises for veterans and military-connected franchisees. Color Glo International is number five.
Military Times Announces the Military Times Best: Franchises 2018
MINNEAPOLIS, MN. February 20th, 2018 - Military Times today announced the Military Times Best: Franchises 2018 rankings, as part of their rollout of Rebootcamp, their brand new website for transitioning service members, veterans and their families. 2018 is the seventh annual edition of rankings factors in company culture and support for military franchisees. 53 companies have made the 2018 list of the best franchises for veterans and military-connected franchisees. Color Glo International is number five.
About Military Times Ranking
A valuable resource for veterans – and a coveted honor for companies around the country – the annual Military Times rankings are the result of a meticulous, months-long process. Military Times invites franchise companies to fill out its rigorous survey of more than 100 questions, tests to ensure the accuracy of responses, carefully evaluates survey data and includes only the best companies in its published rankings.
Companies large and small participate in this annual evaluation. Those who make the cut proudly tout their spot on the Military Times Best list – on billboards, in ballparks and in ads across national publications.
In their seventh year, the franchise rankings evaluate company culture, investment quality, overall franchising costs, military discounts and other non-financial supports, including support for franchisees in the National Guard and reserves. Perhaps just as important is what is not factored in: whether companies advertise with our publication or otherwise pay us money. While other military news and rankings outlets have been accused of operating as pay-to-play schemes, Military Times rankings always have been, and remain, independent and objective news/editorial projects.
“The franchise brands on this list make the extra effort for their veteran and military-connected franchisees,”. “They earned their places on these rankings through their dedication to current and former service members, and their efforts should get the attention of veterans considering their launching a franchise.” ~ George Altman, the Military Times editor in charge of the rankings
